Actor and Role Matrix

One actor concentrated across four of five business roles

Mapping five actors to the roles each performs or approves shows the Network planner sitting across four of the five: one person away then stalls assessments, outage releases, asset data and publication sign off at once, and no role is performed and approved by one actor.

One actor concentrated across four of five business roles An Actor and Role Matrix, the TOGAF Standard 10 Phase B artifact, worked for London Grid Distribution. Five actors run down the side, from the connections customer to the regulation analyst, under an accent header of five business roles: connection assessor, outage coordinator, asset steward, data publisher and settlement officer. Each cell records Performs or Approves. The Network planner row carries an accent tint because it performs or approves four of the five roles, the concentration this matrix exists to expose, and no actor both performs and approves the same role. A legend names the tint and defines Performs and Approves.
